For those who say that it is easy to know God's will for our lives probably are talking to the wind. Knowing just what God may want you to do requires a level of spiritual sensitivity that is more difficult than most would think. Where do we start?
First, you must know without wavering doubt that God does have a special calling for you. You must know that you are not searching merely for a career or a position. You must know that God does have a way for you to go. It is His will.
Second, you need to know what you gifts and talents are. God usually does not ask us to do things that we simply have no inclination for. There will be certain aspirations for what it may be God wants you to do. Especially if it is to be a life time calling.
Third, A deep sense of fulfillment will settle upon you. You will feel good at the aspect of doing what God calls to do. You will want to do it. You will look forward to giving yourself to it.
Fourth, a confirmation from other members of the body of Christ is very important. They will see gifts you have. People will be blessed by your calling and tell you so.
Fifth, after answering the call you should thoroughly enjoy what you are doing for the Lord. If you simply do not like what you are doing for the Lord you probably are not in the right calling.
Sixth, the will of God and thoughts of doing it will be with you day and night. His will for you will not come and go but will simply be there each day, every night. It simply does not go away.
Seventh, you will not be distracted by other worldly offers of more attractive, more lucrative positions. Positions of honor, more money, pressures of various kinds will not be entertained by you.
